Hernández: Lakers' hiring of JJ Redick as coach is really out of the box

LA Times  

JJ Redick smiles as he is introduced as the Lakers’ new head coach Monday at the team’s training facility in El Segundo. General manager Rob Pelinka opened Redick’s introductory news conference on Monday by emphasizing the importance of “innovation” and being “forward thinking.” Asked later if the Lakers would expand their analytics and scouting departments to assist Redick in modernizing the franchise, Pelinka replied, “JJ and I have had some really robust conversations around innovation and sort even gamifying player development. So we’ve talked about how do we translate coach Redick’s offensive system to an app-based or a phone-based deliverable where players can be buying into a philosophy and learning it in a way that meets today’s young player? We have a vision of hiring out his support staff in sort of this tech-bullpen way of getting innovative minds to help bring his basketball strategy and bring his basketball philosophy to life in a way our players can grasp it, learn it and actually grow their basketball IQ.” Pelinka sounded as if he was describing an expensive and ineffective training device sold on infomercials, and this is what the Lakers are counting on to build a contender under a new collective-bargaining agreement that restricts player movement?
